Trip information and preparation

At Gele Trekking, we encourage our guests to be as well-prepared in advance so they can enjoy their treks to their fullest. Over the years we have come up with a simple suggestion that helps our guests be prepared. We recommend you practise walking around areas with small hills three months before your trek. If you don’t have hilly terrain near you, do not worry! It is most important you get out walking some distance along with your other daily exercise routines every day before your trek so you are fit and healthy.

Also please know during trekking, there might be natural obstructions such as changing weather conditions including, snow events and other uncontrollable events such as domestic flight changes such as those to and from Lukla and Pokhara. In these scenarios, your group leader at Gele Trekking will adjust your itinerary as needed for your safety and to allow for the best experience possible.

COMMUNICATION AND ACCOMMODATION FACILITIES

Gele Trekking wishes to ensure that our guests are well-informed about accommodation facilities, including the Himalaya Tea House rooms that share toilets, showers, and communication options. The rooms typically consist of twin bedrooms, with the possibility of sharing a dormitory and communal toilets located outside the building. Showers may be available with gas or electric heating and bucket showers, although washing basins may not be universally provided or available.

For instance, during the Annapurna Base Camp trek, accommodations often require sharing rooms with others due to limited teahouses and room availability. Occasionally, adjustments may be necessary, particularly during peak seasons. While Gele Trekking typically arranges bookings for our groups, there are instances where this may not be feasible.

Rest assured, our trip leaders are well-versed in handling such situations and have the authority to make the necessary adjustments.

Food and Drink Options

Gele Trekking takes pride in introducing the region’s food and drinks to our guests during their treks. We offer Himalayan organic food, with most dishes incorporating noodles, rice, potatoes, and Yak Cheese. Fresh vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, spring onions and seasonal vegetables are also available. While there is a limited selection of foreign food, we also offer some cereals. Our hot drink options include hot chocolate, instant coffee, simple Nepali tea, and powdered milk. Regarding cold drinks, we offer mineral water, Coke, Fanta, Sprite, Pepsi, and some local products.

Regarding alcohol, we offer local beers such as the popular Everest beer, and other beer options such as whisky, and brandy. Some locations may have small bars and offer wines, but it’s important to note that alcohol consumption is subject to altitude limits. Our trip leaders are well-versed in dealing with various issues, including altitude-related concerns, and have the authority to make necessary changes as needed.

Extra trip budget

During your trek, we recommend you budget approximately £35 to £40 ($45 to $50 USD) per day for lunch, dinner, and any drinks. We also recommend that your overall daily budget includes a bit more to cover any additional miscellaneous expenses.

Total approximate in pounds: £520

Total approximate in dollars: $650

Traditional Load-Carrying in Nepal

Gele Trekking is committed to bringing attention to the potential brain damage being caused everyday to countless Nepalese by the common practice of carrying heavy loads on their heads, known as ‘head carrying’. Gele trekking has pledged to make this a top focus for their treks and to actively seek solutions, including having one sherpa accompany each guest and to supporting further research on this critical health concern. By choosing Gele Trekking, our guests are providing support from around the world to help protect and nurture the minds of Nepalese in Nepal.
